Abstract

A message from a device may be automatically identified by an identifier associated with the message or the device or combination thereof. The identifier may be mapped to a user record in a database. The message may be parsed into health related data associated with the user. The health related data is automatically stored into the user record of the database.

Claims

1. A method for automatic EMR incorporation of biometric data, comprising:

receiving a message from a device;

automatically identifying the message by an identifier associated with the message or the device or combination thereof;

mapping the identifier to a user record in a database;

parsing the message into health related data associated with the user; and

storing the health related data into the user record of the database,

the steps of identifying, mapping, parsing and storing performed using a processor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the device includes one or more of a computer, mobile telephone, smart phone, personal digital assistant, a vehicle, or combinations thereof.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the message includes one or more of email message, SMS message, or text message, or combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier associated with the message is a “

from”

address of the message.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier associated with the message is an address of the device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the devices are remotely located from the processor.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the processor pulls and pushes the stored user records to a remote server managing electronic medical record of the user.

8. A system for automatic EMR incorporation of biometric data, comprising:

a storage device;

a processor operable to receive a message from a device and automatically identify the message by an identifier associated with the message or the device or combination thereof, the processor further operable to map the identifier to a user record in a database and parse the message into health related data associated with the user, the processor further operable to store the health related data into the user record of the database on the storage device.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the device includes one or more of a computer, mobile telephone, smart phone, personal digital assistant, a vehicle, or combinations thereof.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the message includes one or more of email message, SMS message, or text message, or combinations thereof.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the identifier associated with the message is a “

from”

address of the message.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the identifier associated with the message is an address of the device.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the devices are remotely located from the processor.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further operable to pull and push the stored user records to a remote server managing electronic medical record of the user.

15. A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of automatic EMR incorporation of biometric data, comprising:

receiving a message from a device;

automatically identifying the message by an identifier associated with the message or the device or combination thereof;

mapping the identifier to a user record in a database;

parsing the message into health related data associated with the user; and

storing the health related data into the user record of the database,

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the device includes one or more of a computer, mobile telephone, smart phone, personal digital assistant, a vehicle, or combinations thereof.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the message includes one or more of email message, SMS message, or text message, or combinations thereof.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the identifier associated with the message is a “

from”

address of the message.

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the identifier associated with the message is an address of the device.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, further including:

prompting the user to send the message via the device.
